Ken,
If you're getting "IO failure", then you've quite likely got a bad hard
drive...
I'd load the smart tools and test the disk to see if it's got bad sectors.
Here's a like to Western Digitals website for your drive. They've got some
tools you can download to test the drive as well.

Thanks,

Thank you, Chuck. Lot's more information here. Suggestions?
